THE PREMIE PREMIER IN IN 1 ENGLAND. | 


Portion of a Length Intervi iew wit th| 

Premier Haultain in England. 

The Heratp has received al 
a marked copy of the Manchester 
Guardian containing a lengthy 
interview with Premier Haultain, 
which shows that the Premier is 
doing some good work for the 
Canadian West while in’ England, 
The following is an extract from 
his interview: 

The three organized districts of! 
the Territories, said Mr. Haultain.| 
have an area of 808.340 square} 
miles, or nearly one hundred and 
ninety-five million acres, There | 
is roughly about two and a half! 
times as vreatan fren as that of} 
Great Britain, ard half as large 
again as either France or Ger- 
many. There is therefore room| 
fos a large avcess of population. | 
The climate is essentially a healthy 
one, and there isa tofal absence of} 
malaria or other disease pecusiar | 

to the country. In fact Southern | 
Alberta is alreaiy known throuyh-| 
out the North American continent 
as a health resort for people affets-| 
ed with lung trouble. The gene. | 
appearance of the p-ople of Wesi- 
ern Canada, and the physique of 
the men and women it turns our 
are ninple proof of the favorable} 
climate and other healthy cond. 
tions of life. Tbe summer is ‘hot, 
but there isa total absence of cy-| 
a and other storms such us! 


are not infrequent in the Ameri an} 
States of the Central West. ‘he! 
winters are cold—sometimes very 
cold for a few days at a stretch, | 
added Mr. Haultain, possibly} 
thinking of an occasional ‘blizzard’ | 
he had experienced,—bot the air 
is clear and calm and there is 
avundance of intense bigat sun- 
shine. Life in the winter is 
bright like the sunshine, and is 
}mostenjoyal le and healthful. The 
average settler is a cheery soul, | 
and fond yf social yatherings and 
lamucements, for which the winery, | 
|which puts a stop to most agricul. | 
jtaral work, affords many oppor. | 
| tunities, 
An allusion to the Canadian 
}Coronation Arch in W hite hall 
} prompted Mr, Haultain to say: 
“Asa Canadian Tam Ph of | 
Ca vada’s © ntributicn to London's 
Ceronation decorations Some 
people have called it an adve.tise- 
| me nt, I prefer to call it an invi- 
Htation ina most appropriate and 
lattractive form to the hundreds of 
thousands of toileses who must 
have looked at it with feelings of 
}longing to escape to the larger and | 
| freer life of the great West waich 
| produced the products displayed on 
}the arch, With the swift transit 
}and minimum of discomfort attach. | 
jing to travel in the twentieth cen- 
| tury, emmigration within the em- 
-|pireisathing of the past. It is 
| now moving froma congested dis. | 
{trict to another under the same 
| flag where there fis ample scope 
fand plenty of work for all.” Asa 
\lawyer, Mr, Haultain believes that 
| the laws of the ‘Territories should | 
| impress the people of Great Britain, | 
as they are based upon Enylish 
| laws and are strictly and impartial. 
ly enforced, What the law-abiding | 
leitizen in Western Canada most | 
jappreciates is the freedom  under| 
the law, which is natural and easy 
that the law itself is little in evi-| 
dence, There is little crime, and | 
there a total absence of the lawless- 
ness and contempt for law and 
order which has characterized 
many portions of the Western 
United States in theirearlier settle. 
ment, “Except in*novels where 
the cow-boy is a conspicious — fig 
ure, we have never’, said M: 
Haultain, “had in the Territories 
an actual lynching, or even an at} 
tempt at such athing, and carry. 
ing of arms for personal protection 
isentirely unknown,”

LION STALKING, 
Tracking the Mouarch of the Jangle Very 
Dangerous—No Pastime If You May 


Judge by the stories Below. 


In ‘A Tale of Several Lions,’’ by 
Hercules D. Viljoen, in the June Era, 
the author writes: 

“Von Aardt came to me and sug- 


gested a little lion hunting. Now, I 


} knew lions as well as he; deliberate 
hunting for a lion Who mourns a 
murderet mate Was a proceeding so 


tetnerarious that the most foolhardy 
of professional hunters would = not 
dure the conflict. Dut im the near 


neighborhood of the spot where Ma- 
dame Lioness had been killed there 
Was one lion with an carthquake 
voice Whose rumblings fascinated the 


fiery spirit of Van Aardt 
“! am going,’’ he said 
him go 


I could not let alone, for 


we had fought too often side by side. | 


We started off, my reckless comrade 
Javing out, in calmest confidence, the 
artioss plan he had of walking up to 


that tumultuous hell of wrath incar- 
nate and of blowing a few lethal 
holes in it with his Mauser 


As we came nearer, the roars ceas- 
ed. The lion, weary with his 
cations of the night, had gome away 
from the scene of his bereavement for 
rest and sleep. Dut we found in the 
jungle’s depths the footway he 
trod: in a sentry path of 20 feot he 
had stalked back and = forth = for 
twelve hours, calling aloud for ven- 
geance, 

Kristmansen, who har’ looked upon 
Van Aardt as a hot-h ded madman 
for a time, decided he would use the 
morning for a peaceful  springbok 
hunt, and took his Kaffir boy along. 
Ile went in the direction opposite to 


ours After half an hour’s close 
tracking, the Kaffir, who had been 
in advance, appeared at his elbow 
with impish suddenness, and in a 
whispered word : 

“Baas, a lion ["’ 


Kristmansen started ahead of him. 
There in a tiny clearing not 30 yards 
away, the monarch stood, his mane 
quivering with the intensity of his 
attention, and his brilliant eyeballs 
gleaming in the effort to penetrate 
the single veil of cover that hid the 
hunter from his view. The Kaffir had 
a faith in his master that was sub- 
lime 

“Shoot, Baas, shoot !”’ 

Kristmansen knew that death stood 
waiting for him in the clearing be 
yond The chances were all against 
a first fatal shot. The wounded lion 
would tear him into shreds of man- 
gied flesh before he could have time 
to fly 

Step by step, his very breath pent 
up, he made the slow retreat The 
Kaftir, fancying all his master need 
to do Was to fire a single shot, ac- 
companied him with an expression of 
disdain For 10 good minutes, 
Kristmansen paced backwards, and 
then came swiftly to the camp again 
upon the chance of making up a 
party Whose numbers would mean 
safety in a concerted attack But 
the majority of us were away, and 
that lion, with all the others among 
the spouses of Farie’s lioness, went 
uninolested from that day forth

atill harder, and there were icicles in 
his voice as be answered: 

“We will talk of the matter after 
dinner, though how your conscience 
can permit you to swallow a single 
tnouthful of food is beyond me,” 

There was a row coming for sure, 
and Mrs, Bowser braced up to meet it. 
Sbe hadn't broken a window that day, 


and the gas bill hadn't come in nor the | 


clothesping been used for fuel in the

somewhere, A grim silence prevailed 
until dinner was finished and they had 
reached the sitting room, and then Mr,

a finger at her nose, hoursely exclaimed: 

“Woman, do you know what you

TWO 
LUNATICS 


.... By P. Y. BLACK

“It was a shameful trap.” he said, 
“on the part of my people. The doctors 
were very careless in their diagnosis 
To shut me up in a place like this was 
really too bad. In a very short time, 
however, I expect to leave.” 

“Oh, dear,” she thought, her eyes 
dimming, “they all-say that! To think 
that the poor man will never, never, 
never leave. “I am so glad—for you,” 
she said aloud. “You will be over- 
joyed.” 

“Oh, I-yes. But do you know this 
sanuitarium is not so bad,” 

“Do you mean,” she said gently, sur 
prised, “that you will—er—have any re- 
egrets in leaving?" 

“No.” he said, “not exactly that, of 
course—not regrets, so far as concerns 
myself, for it is so humillating to be 
committed, you know.” He paused 
“But.” he went on, “even in asylums 
one makes friends, and—one regrets— 
for them.” 

He looked down with a tenderness 
and a pity he could not hide, and she 
blushed, and for a moment there was 
silence. Then she said, with an ob- 
viously strained laugh: 

“We are friends, of course, Mr. St. 
John. What an awful existence it 
would be bere if one bad no sympa. 
thetic friends! But you must not regret 
so much on my account, In a very 
short time I think my friends will take 
me home.” 

He choked a groan before she could 
hear it. 

“The poor little thing!” he thought 
“They all say that. And that decent 
young fellow, the doctor, assures me 
her case is very puzzling and ber 
friends fear incurable. | am so glad 
for you.” he said. “Would it not be 
jolly if we became friends in the world 
ns we have been when out of the 
world?" 

Then he blamed himself again, 

“If she really likes me.” be thought, 
“and | think the unhappy ebild does, | 
should never had sald that. It is cruel, 
brutal, to put such thoughts to her 
head.” 

She was looking, at bim with the 
tearful smile we essay when we en 
courage one who does not realize that 
death ts near, 

“It would be nice—very nice indeed.” 

They were silent again, each sorrow: 
ing for the other, 

There were many other patients 
strolling on the lawns or sitting In the 
summer houses, patients of all kinds, 
from the shaky narcomaniac to the op 
timistically cheerful paretic. Attend 
ants, male and female, moved unobtru 
sively among them, 

Miss Tracy and St, John stood to 
gether, silent now and unostentatiously 
observant. A sturdily built (all the at 
tendants were that) man was taking a 
patient to the fron barred house, He 
did not do it violently, He did it as one 
may see a policeman occasionally es 


cort a quiet prisoner with a light touch 


on the captive’s arm above the elbow 
The patient was a little excited, but 
there was no disturbance at all. A vis 
itor might never have noticed it. The 
strange thing was the unanimous back 
ward withdrawal from the attendant's 
path of the patients encountered, the 
look of fright or dislike on thelr faces 
directed not at the captive, but at the 
guard. 

“How they all dread him—instinctive. 
ly, it seems,” said the young woman 
who “expected to leave soon.” “He is 
polite enough and not fll looking, 
but"— 

“A man of great experience in his 
pecullar work, I'm told,” said St. John 
musingly, 

“It's his eye and mouth that do ft, | 
fancy.” 


“A thoroughly ill dispositioned man, | 


with a plausible exterior,” said St 
John, “I belleve him capable of it,” 

“Of murder? Do-—oh, what are you 
talking of, Mr, St. John?" 

St. Join looked very uncomfortable, 
Miss Tracy looked vexedly» embar- 
rassed, 

“| heard some rumor of a strange 
death in the institution just before | 


came, 1 was thinking of it. Were you 
here?) Ilave you heard anything of 
it?” 


He was a little eager, 

“Hlow could | be bere? We came on 
the same day, don't you remember?" 

“Ab, true!” 

So they watched the attendant out of 
sight and turned to go inside them- 
selves, 

They shook bands, although there 
was no reason for it, They would meet 
at the dinner table in a few minutes, 
but—they shook hands and that lin- 
geringly. 

“It's awfully sad," St. John ponder- 
ed, “So sweet a face, seemingly so in- 
telligent, | wish—oh, pshaw! What's 
the use of wishing? These things are 
not to be remedied, I wonder if—she'd 
give me a photograph,” 

Miss Tracy went to ber room slowly, 

“Il am ailly to be so affected by an 
ordinary case, There are thousands 
like him, Butoh, dear, ob, dear! If 


———— $4 


I'd known I was to bave this sad ex- | 


perience, | would never have consented 
to come=never!" 

They bad no opportunity to meet 
alone for several days. Perhaps they 
might have made opportunities, but 
they did pot. Doubtless it occurred to 
eneb of these two lunatics that It was 
the wiser thing to stifle at once any 
friendship Which each thought likely 


to couse useless pain in the future to| 


the other, 

Ir Bell found these two of his rest 
dents gurticulariy interesting ia) those 
days ned so did the attendant it was 
strange that they both so markedly pre- 
ferred the company of the sanitarium 
people to that of their fellow unfortu 
nates, The young house doctor thought 
Miss Tracy charming and never was 
abrupt with ber when she sought bim 
in his office, as he was compelled to be 
for self protection with some who 
wanted to see him half a dozen times a 
day. 

“Very puzzling case,” he mused. 
“Now, why does she dwell so on that 
recent death? It seems to excite ber 
too. That's morbidity, I'm afraid; bad 
sign.” 

The doctor liked St. John too, St. 
Jolin'’s friends acted very nicely in 
sending him new boeks and boxes of 
cigars, The books were well chosen; 
the cigars were unexceptionable, 

“Like all these paretics,” he pondered, 
“in the first stages you would not think 
there was anything much wrong with 
the man, but it is a little singular that 
he should be so interested in that un- 
lucky death also,” 

As for the attendants, Miss Tracy 


had flowers and little things and could | 
teach the women quite a number of | 


new fads in hairdressing and so forth. 
For the men St. John’s cigar box and 
full pocketbook sufficed to make them 
extremely courteous, The man with the 
wicked eyes and mouth benefited most, 
however. It was wonderful what a lot 
of little things he could do for Miss 
Tracy. 
should find anything in the man to talk 
about with common Interest. 

Just once the two lunatics met. It 
was just before bedtime in the music 
room, He had sung to her accompan!- 
ment. When she rose to say good 
night, he almost whispered to her: 


“I expect to go to New York tomor- | 


row.” 


“Il am so glad for your sake,” she 
sald. 


“And—and you—you have made my 


It was strange that St. John | 


“The attendant is arrested,” said St. 
John. “You did not get it quite right. 
The patient be poisoned when nursing 
him was an old enemy, It was not 
done through trouble arising between 
them in the sanitarium,” 


“Ob, bother!’ sbe said, “It doesn't 


matter, We've done our appointed 
work, Let's talk of something more 


pleasant.” 
So they did, and when be was about 


| to go away he sald:

stay almost tolerable. Is there nothing | 


you will allow me to do for you?" 

“Oh,” she answered, with sprightll- 
ness, “I shall not be long in going my- 
self.” 

“Poor, poor little dear,” he said to his 
pillow, “it breaks me all up to think 
of her staying here incurable.” 

Miss Tracy packed her trunk, and 
tears dropped on silk and linen indif- 
ferently. 

“Ob,” she murmured, “I do so wish 
I bad never come bere. I can never, 
never forget the sad, gentle way he 
used to look at me.” 

There was lively work next after- 
noon in the building of The Gazette. A 
young man sat at a desk apart in the 
reporters’ room, and he scribbled and 
he scribbled. By and by the managing 
editor came in and looked over the

“You said once we might be friends 
in the world as well as out of the 
world. Wil we be friends, dear Miss 
Tracy?" 

She looked at bim so smilingly, yet 
so tremblingly, that be put bis arm 
around ber, 

“Will you be more than friend, dar- 
ling?” be whispered. 

“Yes,” she said, and it was quite five 
minutes after, when some one's feet 
were beard approaching, that) she 
jumped away and held up a warning 
finger, 

“If your friend came in, he'd think 
us mad,” gaid she, 

“Two lunatics!" be answered, laugh 
ing, as the door opened,

IN HOUSECLEANING TiMe. 


EN may talk of their strenuous life, 
But ‘tis nothing to that of the wife 
Who, with soap, brush and 
broom, 
Charges through every room, 
Everywhere against dirt waging strife, 


Tis a weason of struggles and woes 
When from attic to cellar she goes, 
Muking every piace clean 
Ti no dirt can be seen 
Apd not even a small duet speck shows. 


From the carpets she hustles the tacks; 
Down come curtains and pictures and 
racks; 
Then at walls she will rush 
With a Jong hand!ed brush 
Chasing dust trom all corners and cracks, 


There are floors she must patiently scrub; 
There are windows to wash und to rub, 
Down the stairs on her knees 
She will go by degrees 
Using water on them by the tub 


When the rooms have beer all purified, 
To the cellar she bravely will stride; 
There with brush in her hand 
She will make u bold stand 


| Till the Whitewash to walls is applied. 


Thus from rising to setting of sun, 
Till the tusk of housecleaning is done, 
Goes the vigilant wife 
In her strenuous life 
And is happy o'er triumph thus won, 


Mut the man who so greatly is blessed 
With a wife of such vigor possessed 
Makes the bluff he must work, 
Yet he's playing the shirk 
And Is out somewhere taking a rest 4 


Hin Dest Rote, 
They were discussing the amateur 
theatricals of the previous evening, 
and Thespis was bewailing the bard 


luck that bad brought on a violent 
headache and prevented bis appear 


anee, 
“Do you know, old boy.” he said con- 


| fidentially, “that was to bave been the 


busy writer's shoulder and told him) 


that he bad only an hour to finish up 
in, Then the great presses began to 


clatter, and in a littl while the first) 
edition of The Gazette was ready for | 


the street, with an 
scare bead on the front page. 

And in the office of The Morning 
Jury there was also a very lively bus- 
tling, and there, at a retired desk, a 
young woman sat, and she seribbled 
and she scribbled, and late at night the 
presses began to rumble, and in a lit 
tle while the first edition of The Jury 
was ready for the street, with an enor- 
mous black scare bead on the front 
rage. 

The Gazette and The Jury were with- 
in a few minutes of each other in get- 
ting out. A copy of each paper was 
hustled into the office of the other, for 
rival editors watch each other's work 
with catlike intentness, And the Ga- 
vette office read with dismay that the 
great asylum mystery bad been solved 
by the indefatigable efforts of a Jury 
reporter, while The Jury night staff 
tore its editorial hair over the flaring 
boast of The Gazette that its “special 
commissioner” bad given to a waiting 
world the first and only enlightenment 
of the famous crime, There bad been 
no time for one paper to lift the news 
from the other, How bad the expected 
scoop been spoiled? 

Tumultuous was the wrath in the 
two offices. Miss Tracy was explain- 
ing to her managing editor, with tears 
in her eyes, that she could not under- 
stand at all, at all, how The Gazette 
had got bold of it, In The Gazette of- 
fice Mr, St. Jobn stormed and swore 
and said that for the life of him he 
could not understand bow The Jury 
had got almost the same story, 

“Good heavens!" shouted St, John 
suddenly, and he dashed out to The 
Jury office. There he found a friend, 
with whom he conferred, The two 
lunatics were introduced to each other 
and a minute or two afterward were 
alone together, 

They laughed a great deal at the 
idea of two reporters on the same 
strange assignment never suspecting 
each other, but thelr laugh was not 
very loud, The tender pity for eacb 
other of yesterday was etill {pn mind,
